My neighbor put a sign in her window asking what my cat’s name was. It was a lovely little bit of human interaction at a time when I really needed it.

Like I said the options are endless, just feed people. Give the pasta lover boxes and bags of pasta. Give the beans and rice lovers tons of bags of beans and rice.
Food insecurity is in every household now for most of America.
It’ll be the best gift you can give.

Grab a pretty reusable gift bag and fill it with fruits, crackers, cheeses, summer sausages and jarred delights from jams to mustards.
Think if it as a charcuterie gift bag.

When people are struggling they also skip self care.
If you know a bath lover or someone skipping healthcare due to the cost of food, consider vitamins and stay well kits or for the bath lover get them their favorite bubble bath, salts or soap. These are things people don’t buy in hard times.

Disturbing, depressing 🧵
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

You try to put it into everything in nonsensical ways.
It doesn't work the way you claim it will.
You don't pay for the work you use to generate it.
Your intent is labor reduction without a contributory return.
